Building This Blog with GitHub Spec Kit

Will AI fail completely, or will it actually be useful for building software going forward? I took GitHub Spec Kit for a spinn when building this blog, and the results were awesome. I have had limited experience with both Hugo and GitHub Pages before beginning, so I figured that this would be a good test case.

What is GitHub Spec Kit?

GitHub Spec Kit is a GitHub-powered workflow that emphasizes specification-first development. You define what you’re building in structured markdown documents before writing a single line of code.

Spec-Driven Development flips the script on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the “real work” of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: specifications become executable, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them.
